LOCATION
Thorverton is one of the area’s most popular villages and lies midway between the market town of Tiverton with Blundell’s School and the university and cathedral city of Exeter. Thorverton is an ancient village with a thriving community and an array of interesting cob, local stone and thatched buildings. The well-known Thorverton stone was quarried from the 12th Century onwards at nearby Raddon. The village
has two pubs (one of which is run by the community), a church, chapel, primary school with pre-school, post office plus a popular farm shop on the outskirts.

The surrounding area consists of typical, rolling Devon farmland with many excellent walks to be had around the network of public footpaths, including the National Trusts Killerton Estate, which enjoys beautiful gardens, café’s and
woodland walks.

There is good access to the M5 with junction 27 at Tiverton just 8 miles away and excellent rail links to London Paddington and Waterloo.

Many well-regarded schools can be found in the area, including Exeter School, Exeter College (Outstanding rated), The Maynard, Blundell’s School and Exeter University, which is recognised as one of the best universities in the country.

THE PROPERTY
Brookside stands as a distinguished Georgian residence of exceptional charm. Nestled in an enviable south-facing position overlooking the picturesque village green, with uninterrupted vistas across the open countryside. Its striking
façade sets the tone for the refined interiors within, where immaculate accommodation seamlessly blends period elegance with modern comfort.

Inside, the grandeur unfolds - a welcoming entrance hall leads to two beautifully appointed reception rooms, each a showcase of fine craftsmanship with tall ceilings, exposed Thorverton stone, beautiful feature fireplaces housing wood-burning stoves, and pretty sash windows with window seats and shutters creating an ambiance of warmth. The dining room enjoys a seamless connection to the walled garden, courtesy of French doors, offering the perfect setting for alfresco
entertaining.

At the heart of the home, the kitchen/breakfast room exudes country charm with exposed beams, extensively fitted solid wood units, an Aga, and ample space for a breakfast table. With direct access to the rear garden, the lifestyle between indoor and outdoor living is perfect for family life or entertaining.

The ground floor further benefits from a practical boot room, a cloakroom, and a utility room, all thoughtfully designed for everyday life.

Upstairs, Brookside presents a highly versatile layout, designed to adapt to a variety of lifestyles. It is currently arranged as four bedrooms, a study area on the landing, a family bathroom with an additional shower room, and a wonderful snug/family room with a free-
standing wood burning stove that opens onto a private balcony overlooking the garden. The configuration allows for endless possibilities, including the potential to create a principal suite with a dressing room and en-suite facilities. Bedroom two benefits from a walk-in wardrobe and vanity area, with plumbing and electrics in place should an additional WC or shower be required.

GARDENS & GROUNDS
Brookside’s walled garden offers a great deal of privacy and charm, accessible via the boot room, dining room, or kitchen. Thoughtfully designed with designated seating areas, cobbled pathways, a water feature, and an area of artificial turf, this enchanting outdoor space is ideal for relaxation and entertaining alike.
